SERP Comments:

This is a selective probe with some off-target activity against p38β; it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier.

SERP Comments:

This probe has a pretty good selectivity towards p38alpha with effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and on a rheumatoid arthritis mouse model.

SERP Comments:

Effective inhibition of p38α should be achievable at concentrations between 50-100 nM. The reported Ki for p38β is 220 nM as determined in α spectrophotometric coupled-enzyme assay using recombinant protein. The Kd for other kinases such as DDR1 is reported to be above 1000 nM. This compound is a fairly selective p38 MAPKα inhibitor with a 20-fold window to p38 MAPKβ based on assessment in an activity assay. It is also useful as an in vivo probe.
